ET witnessed the level of danger that the contestants throw themselves into when we stopped by the set to watch a competition that involved them being dragged by a semi-truck while trying to hit a bullseye with a Frisbee.

"We trick out dune buggies and we launch them off ramps into fiery targets," Lutz said. "We're having them surf semi-trucks. They're being dragged by helicopters. They're in zorbing balls."

Safety is a critical issue for the stunts and the show takes things seriously when it comes to protecting the contestants.

"I have like eight layers under this of all leather," contestant Bobby Avila said of his protective gear. "I had my helmet. I felt perfectly safe."
